I have been happy with my Prius, but I am thinking I will replace it late next year, so I am reluctant to invest $2k into it if I don't have to. The most I know about that shield is that twice I have had shops not secure it correctly and found myself driving the car back in with that dang thing dragging on the ground. Question, if I put a piece of cardboard on the garage floor under the car would leaks show up on the cardboard or does that plastic shield under the car catch leaks like that? Obviously, I am a car dunce. I was kind of shocked to be presented with a $2k repair! The sales guy was saying the oil can drip on "other parts" and damage them or eat away the "fibbage." Valid or BS? My inclination right now is do nothing and watch the oil level. Or, "you can just watch it." It was kind of strange because I service sales guy started by saying "you probably know about this." But I had not been told about any leak at any prior services.and my car had been to a dealer and an independent shop fairly recently in my prior city. They came back with the timing cover leak issue. I have just moved, so this was my first visit to this dealership. Just had my 2010 in for an oil/coolant change. Great customer service! Thank you Toyota and Milton Ruben dealership! My car is running great again (knock on wood), and all of the repairs and rentals didn’t cost me a penny. So even though it was a stressful situation for nearly a month, I have to give credit where it is due. They were extremely apologetic, courteous and professional throughout and always provided me with a nice rental. They repaired it and I haven’t had any problems since. They finally discovered the coil was causing one of the cylinders to misfire. I actually had to take it back three times before they found the problem because it wasn’t giving a DTC and they couldn’t replicate the issue. It was hesitating during acceleration and there was some shaking from the engine. I did have some problems with my car after I got it back. The dealership got my car in right away and had a brand new rental for me to use while my car was being repaired. The service manager said it may take a few days to get a response, Toyota responded the very next day and covered the entire cost of my repair. My dealership submitted my case for a goodwill repair coverage. Have to give Toyota and my local dealership a BIG thumbs up. Click to expand.Sorry it took so long, but I wanted to update my issue.
